That is his initial time, or zero. From that moment begins to work the &#8220;collective memory&#8221;, the representation of the past that shares a social group and that arises from a balance between the transmission of that information and its forgetfulness.<\/p>\n<p>At the <a href=\"https:\/\/ic2s2.org\/2017\/\">3rd Annual International Conference on Computational Social Science<\/a> in Cologne, Germany, he presented a poster with the progress of &#8220;The Laws of Forgetting: Temporal scales in human Collective Forgetting&#8221;. There Candia said that this process of forgetting &#8220;has a two-step effect: a rapid initial drop followed by a slower decline. At the conference there were several people working with memory. They had identified the same phenomenon, but didn\u2019t know what was due beyond the explanation found in literature. They lacked context and a complete explanation through mathematical models, so we decided to do it ourselves&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The DCCS\u2019 student and the researchers Cristi\u00e1n Jara, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chidalgo.com\/\">C\u00e9sar Hidalgo<\/a> (both from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.media.mit.edu\/\">MIT Media Lab<\/a>) and Carlos Rodr\u00edguez-Sickert (<a href=\"https:\/\/complejidadsocial.udd.cl\">CICS<\/a>), developed a model that explains how the popularity of these pieces of information varies according to how old they are. To reproduce the forgetfulness pattern, they based on the concepts of communicative memory (which is transmitted through conversations) and cultural memory (which requires a physical record, like books or digital formats).<\/p>\n<p>When time is closer to zero, communicative memory becomes more important, but as it increases, cultural memory becomes more important. Both indicators, they observed, decrease at different rates. With this mathematical model, Candia is preparing to attend the Conference on Complex Systems 2017 to be held in Cancun, Mexico from September 17 to 22.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not just people fall in love, social groups do too, and through this common experience songs, films and cultural icons emerge.
